The epitome of lakeside living! This waterfront home features open-concept living designed for relaxation & entertainment: great room with stone FP, built-ins, cathedral ceilings & windows overlooking the water; a casual dining area, gourmet kitchen and formal DR. The MBR boasts an en-suite bath with dual vanities, shower & jetted tub. Two additional BRs & full BA offer privacy for guests. The terrace level features a rec room with stone FP, wet bar and dining area. It's complete with a full bath, BR (with lake views!) and a work-from-home office space that could be a 5th bedroom (no window in this 5th BR). A highlight of this property is its outdoor space, where you can savor breathtaking sunsets & enjoy direct access to the lake. The partially-covered deck provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining, while the well-manicured lawn slopes gently down to the water. 2-Car garage, 1-level living, & access to nearby amenities, this home offers a lifestyle hard to find!
